I love Panera Bread and that we have one not too far from us! Even if we forget that it is there half the time, it is nice when we remember it. 
Bryan loves their bread and their creamy tomato soup and I truly miss their bread but love their salads and their creamy tomato soup also. We went to lunch there last week, and like I always do before going somewhere to eat (even if we’ve been there a million times) I went Read More »

[Editor’s Note: September 26, 2011. California Pizza Kitchen has suspended its gluten-free pizza crusts.]
Hello All,
I wanted to share with you a press release that I received today about California Pizza Kitchen:
Hi!
The wait is over! Today California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) has launched gluten free pizza crust, making 29 of their original pizzas available gluten free.
CPK has taken notice of the increased demand with more than 3 million Americans affected by Celiac Disease and created a specialty menu with various gluten free items. Among the 29 different gluten free pizzas available is America’s favorite, The Original BBQ Chicken pizza, the Pear & Gorgonzola pizza and the Wild Mushroom pizza. CPK also offers other gluten free appetizers, soups, salads, specialties, kids items and desserts to choose from on their current menu.
CPK is thrilled to offer those that require gluten free items a menu with the same delicious offering that they’ve always had, now gluten free.
I also saw this on their website: Read More »
[Editor’s Note: California Pizza Kitchen introduced gluten-free crusts but pulled the product due to cross contamination. Updated August 3, 2012]
Yes, you read that title right. California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) will add gluten-free crust to its June 29th new menu roll out. The chain already has a gluten-free menu, but it has not included pizza until now.
“The new menu will introduce nine new items, as well as a new focus on identifying options for better health and wellness,” said CPK’s co-chief executive Rick Rosenfield. The new menu will identify the chain’s use of Read More »
[Editor’s Note: This story is from 2011. It still illustrates why we must be vigilant about where we go to eat.]
Gluten-free Nation, you should be rightly shocked, dismayed and FURIOUS! A chef in Glenwood Springs, Colorado is poisoning you…and bragging about it.
Chef Damian Cardone is wantonly feeding gluten pasta to patrons who request gluten-free food according to a post on his Facebook page.
Cardone was deliberately feeding high gluten food to people as of March 10 according the dates on comments to his post.
It gets worse. Cardone seems to relish his campaign to feed gluten-free individuals gluten… Read More »
The world of gluten-free is just bursting with news this month. It almost seems like there is more going on this month than the last quarter of 2010. Great new for the gluten-free community, but it definitely makes it harder to keep up with the onslaught of new information.

Listed below is the gluten-free news this Examiner has heard about this past week.
It is so fun to pass on all the new information learned about gluten-free products, shopping and dining. The list below reflects what this Examiner learned over the last week.
Breakfast is one of the easiest meals to make at home, but it also the one this Examiner used to enjoy ordering out. It seems now that breakfast is the one meal with limited gluten-free choices, so we tend to eat this meal at home. Who can afford to spend more than $10 for eggs, bacon and potatoes when they can be prepared at home for a fraction of the cost.
Brunch menus tend to vary, but when we go out to brunch we are looking for more than just egg dishes, meat, potatoes and fruit. A traditional brunch menu should offer a gluten-free version of what you would normally expect: pancakes, toast, French toast, eggs Benedict, Read More »
I’ll admit it – sometimes all I want to have for dinner is some fruit, cheese, and if I’m feeling extra adventurous, chocolate. But fresh fruit dipped in chocolate and other savory items dipped in cheese? Now you’re talking.
The Melting Pot is a delightful fondue restaurant that offers you all the cheese and chocolate until your heart’s content (they offer other yummy items too). And now they have a special gluten-free menu, so you don’t have to worry about cross-contamination.
In a cheesy mood? The Spinach Artichoke or Wisconsin Trio (request that the fondue be made with cornstarch) are must-haves. The vegetables and apple slices provided are perfect dipping accompaniments. Read More »
Back in February I wrote an article on Wendy’s updated gluten-free menu. I wrote the article mainly because they removed a lot of the salads that had previously been listed as gluten-free. The menu has been updated again. Fast food restaurants tend to change offerings based on the season, so I applaud Wendy’s for keeping us informed.

The current gluten-free menu for Wendy’s can be viewed here. The Baja Salad has been added to the gluten-free list. This salad contains much of the same ingredients that the Southwest Taco Salad did or does. While the gluten-free menu still lists the Southwest Taco Salad, the regular online menu does not.
